11 Seconds of Progress

Over the last few days, I finally figured out what I want to do for my 11 Second Club animation. It is important for the performance of my characters to be relatable, so I started by filming myself acting out the situation in various ways until I found a method which worked for me.

After experimenting with the Rocket Raccoon and Captain America rigs that I found on the forums, I have started to block out the animation (bare in mind that I have not yet focused on blocking Captain's movement).

I presented my progress to my teachers during today's lecture, which resulted in some feedback for improvements:

• Build a location. A basic environment with simple flooring should work fine.
• Block out Captain America. He should continue to step backwards, even if Rocket stops moving forward.
• Alter Rocket's performance. When saying "kindness", Rocket's body should turn to break how linear the shot is.
• Improve overall performance. Add small movements (e.g. moving Rocket's ears and tail
• Avoid using unmotivated cuts. A variation of shots are not required as they will probably not add to the performance.
